Sophomore Abbi Melrose clinched the upset for the Sooners with a 6-4, 6-4, victory over Flavia Araujo at the No. 3 spot.

Oklahoma improved to 5-2 with the win and notched its fourth victory over a ranked opponent this season.

Oklahoma took the early 1-0 lead with victories at the No. 1 and No. 2 positions in doubles.

"Doubles was exciting. I felt like we had to win at No. 1 and then Arkansas' No. 2 and No. 3 have been great all year." OU head coach David Mullins said. "To see that comeback at No. 2 doubles was really impressive and that's ultimately what got us through today.

Zita Engbroks and Whitney Wofford rallied to clinch the doubles point for the Sooners after defeating Arkansas' Yang Pang and Brittany Huxley at the No. 2 spot, 9-8 (7-4).

No. 36 Hermon Brhane and Whitney Ritchie remain undefeated in doubles after a 9-7 victory against Claudine Paulson and Segou Jonker at the No. 1 position.

The Sooners added three singles points to clinch the victory over Arkansas.

"I was impressed to see court one, three and five closing out matches after we won the first set." Mullins said.
